Abstract:
There are very few reports regarding the use of 3D rotational angiography (3D RA) in embolization of renal artery aneurysms (RAAs). No valuable data have been reported on the follow-up result of coil embolization for RAAs on computed tomography (CT). Purpose To evaluate the clinical and multidetector computed tomography (MDCT) follow-up results of renal artery aneurysms treated by detachable coil embolization using 3D RA. Material and Methods Six patients diagnosed with RAAs were included. Five patients underwent detachable coil embolization. Five patients underwent 3D RA and the parameters used for planning endovascular treatment obtained by 2D CT, reformatted 3D CT angiography (3D CTA), 2D digital subtraction angiography (2D DSA) and 3D RA were compared. The postembolization MDCT follow-up findings were analyzed retrospectively. Results The technical success rate for detachable coil embolization was 40%. The 3D CTA showed the dome-to-neck ratio (DNR) and tangential view of the renal artery aneurysm in five patients (83.3%) and the 2D CT showed it in four (66.7%). An optimal working angle assessment could not be obtained on the 2D CT and 3D CTA. The 3D RA showed the DNR, tangential view, and optimal working angle in all patients. Renal infarction occurred in three patients and postprocedural hypertension developed in two patients during the follow-up period. Conclusion The 3D RA was useful in preoperative determination of adequate working angle for detachable coil embolization of RAAs. Late complications of detachable coil embolization for RAAs were renal infarction and hypertension.
